"The “Devil DeVere” series is a variation on the rake’s progress, or the rake’s reformation, except that is doesn’t start with said rake as the main character—a device that is amazingly clever on Vane’s part and allows her to circle in on DeVere without revealing too much at the outset… The series is erotic and sexy, and sometimes you want to shake the characters until their teeth rattle, but it is absolutely marvelous... This one should be read with bonbons. And a fan!" --Marlene Harris for Library Journal

Ned’s unhappiness, as well as the obvious cure, his best friend and
rake of the first order, "The Devil" DeVere, is hell-bent

All's
Fair in Love and Abduction
In
the second installment of the award-winning Devil
DeVere series,
Ned's daughter Vesta is preparing for her come-out only to have her
world turned upside down when her father returns from London with a
bride of his own! Put
out that he is so wrapped up in Phoebe, Vesta accompanies her
godmother, Diana, to town where she meets and falls instantly in love
with the gallant Captain Hewett DeVere.
"Hew"
DeVere, younger brother to Viscount Ludovic "The Devil"
DeVere, has returned from the war with plans of selling his
commission and settling down. He
quickly becomes enamored of the older but beautiful Diana, and barely
notices eighteen-year-old Vesta. When Hew fails to respond to her
feminine charms, Vesta takes extreme measures to capture the object
of her desire, but Hew didn't survive the worst of the war only to
succumb to Vesta's wayward wiles.
"You
conniving creature! How can you possibly think I could ever love such
a spoiled, petulant, self-absorbed, and scheming little wretch?"
Proving the
adage that opposites attract, this hilarious romp pits the
would-be huntress against the gallant hero in an epic war of
wills. (Romantic
comedy with mature content)
THE
DEVIL YOU KNOW
by Victoria Vane
The
Devil DeVere Series- Library Journal Best E-Book Romance 2012
Sometimes
the Devil is Disguised as a Gentleman...
In
this third installment of the award-winning Devil
DeVere series,
DeVere is finally center stage when Ned, Annalee, and her cousin,
Diana arrive at DeVere’s estate for a weekend of horseracing. From
the first meeting, DeVere makes his interest in Diana acutely known.
Although she sees no harm in a light flirtation, she doesn’t intend
to become another notch on his bedpost. Nevertheless, DeVere
fascinates her.
Ned gave her a meaningful look. "I hope you'll take extreme care in any dealings with him. He is ruthless and calculating when he chooses to be and has a strong predilection to manipulate and exploit the vulnerabilities of others—when it suits his purpose. He just can't help himself. It's not that he's evil incarnate, or anything like that; it's just that he has low tolerance for weakness, incompetence, or buffoonery."
Diana lifted her brow. "You know I am no fool, dear Edward. I take full responsibility for my actions and have already made clear what I am willing and not willing to sacrifice."
Although
DeVere is outwardly arrogant, ruthless, unpredictable, and
manipulative, the private man is quite another creature—intensely
loyal and fiercely protective of those few he cares about. Diana also
maintains a false front to the world. Her twelve year marriage is a
mockery and she feels unfulfilled and undesirable which makes her all
too vulnerable to DeVere’s dangerous charm. After events take an
unexpected turn, Diana' most erotic fantasies become reality when she
seeks comfort and affirmation in the devil's arms. But little does
she know that the fire he ignites within her will burn long after she
leaves Woodcote Park.

THE DEVIL'S MATCH by Victoria Vane
The
Devil DeVere Series- Library Journal Best E-Book Romance 2012
The
devil is the true tempter of women
In
this fourth installment of the award-winning Devil
DeVere
series,
Diana has come to London as her goddaughter's chaperone. Wanting to
avoid her erstwhile lover at all costs, she nevertheless has
no choice but to appeal to DeVere for help when Vesta mysteriously
disappears.
Although once nearly consumed by her passion for DeVere, four years
has reduced the former inferno to bitterness and ashes.
Ludovic's
time abroad has only served to deepen his debauchery. He's become
jaded, world-weary, and bored. He
also recognizes with self-annoyance that the marks of his discontent
have only increased upon a certain
person's arrival in London. When
Diana makes her appearance in his den of iniquity in all of her
glorious self-righteous fury, he suddenly feels alive again.
"Damn
you to hell, DeVere!" she cried, jerking out of his hold. "Yes,
I want you now, but I would despise myself for it the moment we
finished."
"Why?"
he asked, confounded.
"Why?
Because I once confused passion for deeper feeling. I won't make that
mistake again."
"But
don't you remember how it was between us? I can bring you rapture.
You know that. What harm is there?"
She
scoffed, "Surely the same words the serpent whispered to Eve."
While
DeVere is once more hell-bent to have Diana back in his bed, she will
do whatever it takes to bring him to his knees.
A
DEVIL'S TOUCH
by Victoria Vane
The
Devil DeVere Series- Library Journal Best E-Book Romance 2012
This
short erotic installment in the award-winning Devil
DeVere series
can stand alone as a complete story, but also serves to bridge The
Devil's Match and
Jewel
of the East
(Salime
and Simon's story).
In
her last month of pregnancy, Diana, Viscountess DeVere, has barely
settled into her new life and role as "the devil" DeVere's
wife, when her increasingly restless husband receives an urgent
summons to London. When Diana inadvertently discovers a message he
received from a known courtesan with whom he was formerly linked, she
fears her marriage is over before it has begun.
They
were barely three months into a marriage that had begun on rather
shaky ground. Was it possible that for him, the novelty of it had
already worn off? This had always been Diana's greatest fear, for
Ludovic was a man with a voracious sensual appetite, one he had honed
with years of endless variety and constant, unrestrained indulgence.
Diana, on the contrary, had known only one true lover—this same
perplexing man who was now her husband—the one who had made her
heavy with his child…and now left her alone in a cold bed.
JEWEL
OF THE EAST by Victoria Vane
The
Devil DeVere Series- Library Journal Best E-Book Romance 2012
Maimed
by Misfortune… Healed by Love…
In
the fifth installment of the award-winning Devil
DeVere series,
DeVere once more plays the unlikely cupid by bringing together Simon
(The
Trouble with Sin)
and Salime (The
Devil's Match),
two injured souls who find ultimate healing in each other's arms.
His
wounds run deep…Having
once lived his life only for larks, laughter, and ladies of easy
virtue, Captain Simon Singleton has returned from war a shambles
of a man. Although free from six years of captivity, he's still
fettered by fears that confine him to a life of seclusion.
Her
scars are well-hidden…Once
the crowning jewel of the most lavish brothel in London, the exotic
Salime finds her reputation and livelihood destroyed by a bitter
rival. With a closely guarded secret stripped away, she fears no
man will ever desire her again. Seeking aid from one who once
saved her life, she accepts a proposition to become a companion to
his war-scarred friend.
But
love is the eternal cure…When
circumstance brings these two damaged souls together, fate
ignites a love story worthy of the Arabian Nights. (mature

DEVIL
IN THE MAKING
by Victoria Vane
The
Devil DeVere Series- Library Journal Best E-Book Romance 2012
Every
Devil Has A Beginning...
In
this first of three prequels to the award-winning Devil
DeVere
series, we meet Ludovic, Ned, and Simon as youths in this riotous
Georgian romp written in the tradition of Fielding's Tom Jones.
Since
their first meeting at Westminster, Ned, Simon, and DeVere had forged
an iron-clad bond that had maintained them through nearly six years.
From the outset, Ludovic's scandalous family secrets had set him
apart from the other aristocratic scions as an "untouchable."
Deny it as he tried, the ugly truth remained that his mother was
indeed the biggest whore in England, and his presumed father, the
viscount, no less than a pox-ridden madman.
Likewise,
Simon Singleton's poetic proclivities had instantly made him the
bullies' mark, and even Edward Chambers' great size had served as
little deterrent for the upper classmen's taunts when accompanied by
adolescent awkwardness and a broad North Country drawl.
By
the end of the first form, however, DeVere's finely honed shell of
arrogance, Ned's increasing brawn, and Sin's rapier wit, had given
birth to an unholy triumvirate that came to wreak perpetual and
unchallenged havoc upon Westminster School. Now, it appeared their
illustrious reign had come to an inglorious end.
Intent
on serving up revenge on their tyrannical schoolmaster, a prank with
the king's lion goes comically awry, leading to a startling chain of
events.
THE
TROUBLE WITH SIN by Victoria Vane
The
Devil DeVere Series- Library Journal Best E-Book Romance 2012
This
second prequel to the award-winning Devil DeVere series is a comedic
romp featuring aspiring poet, Simon "sin" Singleton.
The
Trouble with Sin … Is the devil within… Sin
has lived only
for
larks, laughter, and ladies of easy virtue, eluding
defying, and flouting all manner of authority until
his impetuous misdeeds finally catch up with him.
Ned
asked, "Are you not still bound for the clergy, Sin?"
Simon heaved a deep sigh. "It is my dear Mama's fondest wish for me to join the church, but I fear my nature is quite incompatible with a theological vocation. I have searched deeply, and cannot seem to summon an inkling of pious sentiment, which makes me an exceedingly poor candidate for the clergy."
Simon heaved a deep sigh. "It is my dear Mama's fondest wish for me to join the church, but I fear my nature is quite incompatible with a theological vocation. I have searched deeply, and cannot seem to summon an inkling of pious sentiment, which makes me an exceedingly poor candidate for the clergy."
"Even
so, why would you wish to dirty your hands with something like this?"
"The
answer is simple, Ned—I need the money."
"But
you receive a more than adequate allowance."
"That
he mostly squanders on women of easy virtue," DeVere drawled.
"Admittedly,"
Simon confessed, unabashed. "But now my father has reduced my
quarterly and demands a full account of every ha'penny. I tell you,
it is humiliating in the extreme! Unless I wish to live under such a
yoke for the next three years— which I positively do not— I must
make my own living. If I must travail for my bread, how better than
by the fruits of my pen?"
"So
you seek to combine your love of poetry and lewd women by writing
poetry about
lewd
women?" Ned replied dryly.
Simon
clapped Ned on the back. "Precisely! Don't you see the ironic
beauty of it?"
"What
do you suppose will happen when your dear, devout mama gets wind of
this?" Ned asked.
"I
have taken every precaution to ensure my anonymity." Simon
retrieved the book from DeVere. "My contribution to this little
work is, and shall forever remain, a well-kept secret."
The
wage of Sin… is twenty-five percent of the net!
It seems a fantasy come true when Simon is offered an independent
income by combining his two great passions— poetry and lewd women.
Unfortunately, maintaining anonymity may be much harder than he
thought…
The Devil DeVere Series
I think every writer dreams of creating characters who are larger than life, those so strong and intriguing that they can carry an entire series, even if not the primary focus of it. But Ludovic ”the Devil DeVere” who began as a rakish sidekick, became all that and then some. I never knew when I dreamed up my “HANGOVER” inspired novella A WILD NIGHT’S BRIDE that one story would become two, and then three, and then four, all because of one secondary character. Hence, the birth of THE DEVIL DEVERE series, four scorching hot intertwined Georgian era romance novellas involving six main characters all connected through the devious Ludovic, Viscount DeVere. Now, without further ado, here is a brief introduction to the books and characters.

"Devil in the Making" by Victoria Vane was a beautifully written short story of where it all begins...the early years..illustrated prequel of 'The Devil DeVere Series). The main characters...'young Lord Ludovic DeVere, Edward 'Ned' Chambers, Simon 'Sin" Singleton and Charles Fox' were all known for their pranks really causing you to only laugh out loud. You will see how each one of these friends will met...the trouble they got into...omg at the university in the Georgian, England. "Breaking into the King's menagerie, facing the wrath of the headmaster at school, facing the unholy wrath of his father and ultimately the wrath of the King, all part of the life of Devil DeVere and the story continues....this is where I say you must pick up "Devil in the Making" to find out just what all will come out from this good read. There will be a part of the read that will let you know of the what and why of the relationship between DeVere's mother and father and questions will be answered to the why DeVere is the man he is.
I don't want to leave out the beautiful color illustrations are simply wonderful that Ms. Vane gives the reader a pure description of each of the characters. This read will definitely have each reader wanting more of Ms. Vane storytelling of the 'The Devil DeVere Series.'
If anyone is in for a good read that will unfold with humor and some bit of seduction in a delightful way..."Devil in the Making" would be recommended to you...especially if you plan to pick up the series.

In this read you will get all of the what, why, who and how that comes out and lets the reader see the whole picture...especially of DeVere and Diana. "The Devil's Match " was another novella..with fun, fast paced, and Yes erotic...as the two characters 'learn the true meaning of love and forgiveness. All of the original characters...from DeVere, Diana, Hew, Ned, Phoebe, Vesta, Polly, Pratt, Salime to the rest were simply wonderful...in their deliverance being well developed...realistic and even engaging. What I really like from this last series was that we learn of DeVere's painful past, and we finally understand what turned him into such a cynical, debauched libertine..(devil) that only Diana could tame. With saying that I will stop and just say you must to pick up "The Devil's Match" to see for yourself how this author brings in all out to the reader.

"A Devil Named DeVere" by Victoria Vane was a combination of this series book 3, 4 and 4.5 novels. These were all short stories that fitted so well together giving the reader a full length read.
We find from this read that DeVere is quite young and besides that most of the young ladies he was around was out more for his money and title. Now, we find DeVere has some 'trust' issues that bothers him then he meets Diana. This wonderful story will really pick up where we find is Diana now falling for DeVere's charms? Will Diana be able to trust DeVere? Will DeVere be able to resist the love he has for Diana? This novel really gets into the romantic love story of this man
'Viscount Ludovic (AKA Devil DeVere) and Diana. This is hot and steamy reading! This author really works her magic in the wonderful well written read by giving the reader one digital book with three stories...'The Devil You Know, The Devil's Match and The Devil's Touch.' Be ready for "rakes, scandal, wounded hearts, seduction, and passion" all in one wonderful title: "THE DEVIL NAMED DEVERE that I would definitely recommend as a excellent read.

Review:
"The Devil's Match" by Victoria Vane was the conclusion of 'The Devil DeVere Series #4 and did I get the icing on the cake...from this great ...YES! This author was able to portray all the research and history so often making you feel that you were actually there...and let's not forget about the beautiful illustrations that were presented. In this read you will get all of the what, why, who and how that comes out and lets the reader see the whole picture...especially of DeVere and Diana. "The Devil's Match " was another novella..with fun, fast paced, and Yes erotic...as the two characters 'learn the true meaning of love and forgiveness. All of the original characters...from DeVere, Diana, Hew, Ned, Phoebe, Vesta, Polly, Pratt, Salime to the rest were simply wonderful...in their deliverance being well developed...realistic and even engaging. What I really like from this last series was that we learn of DeVere's painful past, and we finally understand what turned him into such a cynical, debauched libertine..(devil) that only Diana could tame. With saying that I will stop and just say you must to pick up "The Devil's Match" to see for yourself how this author brings in all out to the reader. Ms. Vane did a excellent job with this fabulous series and as I said earlier... this last novel puts the icing on the cake.

To the author... thank you for such a wonderful read that I couldn't put down until I had read the whole series...and would I recommend: "The Devil's Match" my answer would be YES! Would I recommend the whole series? ...my answer again would be YES!
Note: I just got this from the author: I am continuing the series...I hope to have the next vignette out by Valentine's Day(2013). It's A DEVIL'S TOUCH, a short story of Diana and DeVere 3 months into their marriage. It's very erotic and very intense! It also serves as a bridge to JEWEL OF THE EAST that I hope to release by late spring.

Review:
"Jewel of the East" by Victoria Vane was this author's series 'The Devil DeVere #5' and it was one interesting read. To really understand all that has gone one in this whole series I would recommend you pick up: THE DEVIL DEVERE SERIES:
A Wild Night's Bride #1
The Virgin Huntress#2
The Devil You Know #3
The Devil's Match #4
A Devil's Touch #4.5
A Devil Named DeVere....The Devil DeVere Volume II (books 3, 4 & 4.5)
Jewel Of the East #5
and let's not leave out the PREQUEL VIGNETTES:
Devil in the Making #1
The Trouble With Sin #2
Ned's Folly#3 coming soon!
Now, getting to "Jewel of the East" was a very easy quick read of Sin and Salime. Now, how did they get together? Simon had once been a womanizer who had shamed his noble family a number of times so his father had him sent to the military service. However, things didn't go
well for him. What happened that sent Simon back home a broken man? Who will come to his aid and help him?
Salime had exotic life until she is kidnapped and then raised in a harem in Constantinople. Then she is recused by DeVere and brought to London and Salime starts a new life. Everything seems to be going well of Salime until she has problems with a 'rival' and so who does she turns to?
We find we have two people that needed help due to "abuses and disappointments they faced." With both of these two people being a friend of DeVere, he decides to help both in the only way he knew to do. Now, what and how could he do this? This is where I say you must pick up "Jewel of the East" to see how this author will bring it all out to the reader.
Be ready for a well written tale that will show what true friendship was for these main characters Simon, Salime and DeVere. I found all of the characters well developed, well portrayed, colorful and very interesting only to give you a excellent read that once you start reading it will be hard to put down until you are finished. I love how this author was able to bring in the poetry and oh those hot steamy love scenes in this romantic story! I did find this read more serious than the other previous series.
If you would like a wonderful historical romance I would definitely recommend you to pick up "Jewel of the East" for a amazing good read.
